by Richard Heck 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

On a new installation of F10, Network Manager won't remember the password for WPA on ONE user account. It's fine on the other one. Any ideas? rh

How do you simultaneously login to several remote machines via XDMCP? Or I can not do that and I need to run startx -- remote_server from xterm for each server? Regards Deboo -- Please don't Cc: me, I'm subscribed to the list.

F10: could not start ksmserver
by Tarjei Knapstad 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

A recent update seems to have botched KDE somehow. When I log in I get an xmessage stating "Could not start ksmserver. Check your installation." If I click OK the window manager dies, but if I just let it sit there I can use my desktop just fine... This started showing today, apparently after last nights updates. These updates included: gdm-user-switch-applet-2.24.1-4.fc10 Fri 27 Feb 2009 22:50:23 CET xorg-x11-drv-evdev-2.1.3-1.fc10 Fri 27 Feb 2009 22:50:22 CET libpng-devel-1.2.35-1.fc10 Fri 27 Feb 2009 22:50:22 CET pygtk2-libglade-2.13.0-3.fc10 Fri 27 Feb 2009 22:50:21 CET setup-2.7.4-4.fc10 Fri 27 Feb 2009 22:50:20 CET pygtk2-devel-2.13.0-3.fc10 Fri 27 Feb 2009 22:50:18 CET pygtk2-codegen-2.13.0-3.fc10 Fri 27 Feb 2009 22:50:17 CET pygtk2-doc-2.13.0-3.fc10 Fri 27 Feb 2009 22:50:10 CET ntfs-3g-2009.2.1-2.fc10 Fri 27 Feb 2009 22:50:07 CET libmusicbrainz3-3.0.2-4.fc10 Fri 27 Feb 2009 22:50:05 CET pygtk2-2.13.0-3.fc10 Fri 27 Feb 2009 22:49:59 CET gdm-2.24.1-4.fc10 Fri 27 Feb 2009 22:49:19 CET libpng-1.2.35-1.fc10 Fri 27 Feb 2009 22:49:04 CET After googling the issue I found a suggestion saying that I should check the perms on my . files in $HOME. Everything seems OK here. Any ideas what's happening? Cheers, -- Tarjei

Hello, I have F9. I installed flash plugin from adobe yum distro. But there's no sound when I run "youtube" or some page like that. Maybe someone knows where can be a problem?

FC9 Compromised...
by Jack Lauman 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

On Feb 25, between 1753-2046 PST several of my Fedora Core 9 machines were compromised. All had the latest patches applied. 1. Only the installed user accounts are on these machines. The root user password is long with upper/lower case characters with numerals & punctuation. It is unlikely this was cracked. 2. All log files were deleted. 3. The following users were deleted 'root': mysql apache sshd dbus haldaemon dovecot gdm smmsp 4. The machine can only be accessed in 'single user' mode. Using 'passwd' to reset the root password fails with: "passwd: User not known to the underlying authentication module." Any help on resolving this would be appreciated. I need to get data off these before re-installation. Have any other incidents like this been reported lately? Thanks, Jack

Question re deprecated rcN.d launched utils
by Gene Heskett 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Greetings; Touring the system investigating selinux alerts naming the Console*-daemon, it came to my attention that I had the start-stop links for ConsoleKit, LISa, and fglrx laying around, but that there were no corresponding files at the other end of the link in ../init.d. So I nuked them. Inspecting the ConsoleKit packages seems to indicate those files are not now part of the system. However, it was strange in that I could not rm them by typing the names, but had to copy paste the names into the command line. That seemed odd, but on further inspection with htop, the 50+ copies of ConsoleKit normally running on my F8 system are also on the missing list. Is this something I need to fix ASAP? According to yumex, all the ConsoleKit stuff is installed. Looking at SEadmin, the consolekit policy module is version 1.2.0. Rights on the console-kit-daemon are: root@coyote ~]# ls -la --context /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon -rwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:consolekit_exec_t:s0 /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon Selinuxtroubleshooter says I should do a restorecon -v './console-kit-daemon', but it returns silently and changes nothing. Things are sort of working, and I will post other messages about a couple of miss-fires I'm found so far, so they are in separate threads. Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Building .ko from from SRPM, what reduces .ko file size between 'make' and RPM?
by David 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Hello. I'm attempting a newbie skill building exercise rather than solving a particular problem, but I'm missing something obvious. Searching hasnt helped me on this specific point. I imagine that 'make' of the entire kernel source RPM (at the exact version as my Fedora 9 precompiled kernels) should closely duplicate my precompiled kernel modules, for example my ALSA driver module snd-intel8x0.ko However as shown by 'ls' at the last paragraph of this email, I notice that the snd-intel8x0.ko I build using 'make' is 230265 bytes but the precompiled operational one is *much* smaller at 39592 bytes. I am afraid to proceed to 'make install' until these files look similar/identical. Also I notice that if I build the kernel.rpm and then 'rpm -qp --dump' it, then these file sizes *are* identical. So I am wondering what affects the size of the .ko file between 'make' and the built RPM. As a newbie in this area I am far from comprehending the entire kernel.spec or Makefiles system. So it would greatly assist me if someone could give me a pointer what to look at next. Please note that my aim is not to build an rpm. My aim is to become knowledgable enough extract a kernel source tree from a srpm, to be able to 'make' it, and ultimately to be able to 'make' subsections of it, in particular make and install an individual module, without building an rpm. I understand the consequences for my rpm database. Using diff on the output from 'modinfo' on each file gives only these differences < filename: /BIG/HOME/david/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.25/linux-2.6.25.i686/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.ko > filename: /lib/modules/2.6.25-14.fc9.i686/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.ko < vermagic: 2.6.25 SMP mod_unload 686 4KSTACKS > vermagic: 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 SMP mod_unload 686 4KSTACKS I'm using the reference http://www.tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/2.6/html/x380.html ("Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide: Building modules for a precompiled kernel"). My complete approach is reproduced below. Probably you can skip the first 3 paragraphs that just show my rpmbuild targets. ~/rpmbuild is a symlink due to insufficient free space on my home drive. By the way, I live in a remote location with poor quality dialup internet so sadly I cannot possibly keep my installation at the latest update of all packages between DVD releases. I'll be really grateful for any tips on the above, thanks.

If you can't see the files, check if they still exist ('ls /dev/...' from the command line). If you can't play the media, you'll need to say how you used to do it. Dolphin doesn't play media itself, it uses Kaffeine (or VLC, or dragon, or mplayer, or ...) poc Hi POC, Neither Dolphin nor Krusader would list or show an icon of anything outside "Home" or "Root"; I found autofs had deinstalled during the upgrade so reinstalled that & my external HDD came back. Rythmbox one time showed the tracklist, but wouldn't play anything, alsomixer wuld show lots of controls & freeze with nearly 100% CPU usage; Pulsaudio didn't seem to do anything, so (following the comments in the forum) I deleted PA, but couldn't take out some of the sub utilis of PA without yum wanting to deinstall everything as nmothing was used by anything else..... So loaded amarok & music plays automatically but the icons in "places" for the CD/DVD drives are still missing. The drives show up however in HWLister. /dev shows entries for cdrom & cdrom1 & cdrw, dvd, dvd1 & dvdrw. ???????????? Dave

X fails to start after recent update
by D. Hugh Redelmeier 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

I did an update. It said I should reboot. After reboot, X does not come up. I can flip to a text console: that's what I'm typing this into. Anyone else have this problem? I'm running X86-66 Fedora 10. The video card is an Asus EAH3650 Silent Magic. /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows some bad news: (EE) RADEON(0): Output DVI-0 enabled but has no modes But I don't know why it says that. Preceding lines include: (II) RADEON(0): Printing probed modes for output DVI-0 (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "2560x1600"x59.9 268.00 2560 2608 2640 2720 1600 1603 1609 1646 +hsync +vsync (98.5 kHz) This is a correct modeline for the monitor (II) RADEON(0): Output HDMI-0 disconnected (II) RADEON(0): Output DVI-0 connected (II) RADEON(0): Using exact sizes for initial modes Eventually, it says: (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. Fatal server error: no screens found I don't know which update is the problem. Certainly one in the alst few days. It cannot be the actual X device driver because I didn't update that. There is a driver update but I don't apply it because it does not work on my system. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=484636 The ati driver recognizes the video card as: (--) RADEON(0): Chipset: "ATI ATI Radeon HD 3600 XT" (ChipID = 0x9598) The "ATI ATI" is a typo fixed in the current driver.
